cellent idea of the appearance of the wrecked
bridge just after the accident. The Genesee
river at this point and at this time of year is
a mighty rushing torrent, and there could
have been no chance of saving the poor girl
after she once struck the water Rochester

was caused by the falling of line of heavy
telegraph poles which ran across the bridge

New YORK, Feb. "a
The result of the fifteen ball pool tourna-
ment, held in this city during last week,
leaves Albert M. Frey still the champion of
the United States, this having been his third
victory over his whilom conqueror, j. NJ.
Malone. The tournament was said to have
been gotten up for the purpose of introducing
the new rules, which, by the way, are not
new at all, but are simply "old clothes" fixed
over Balbo did excellent work and, 1 think
would defeat either Frey or Malone if he had
trifle more confidence in himself. Other
persons are also of this opinion, and under
stand that an effort is being made to arrange
a series of games between Balbo and Frey for
a large amount, twenty-one games to be
played on each of five consecutive nights, the
man winning three out of the five "sets" to be
declared the champion of the United States
and the winner of the money.
***
Speaking of pool naturally causes ones
thoughts to revert 10 billiards. Maurice Vign-
aux, the French billiard expert, l am told,
some time ago took in hand young fellow
whom he considered quite a promising per-
former with the cue. If report be true
Maurice's ability to select an embryo billiard
champion should never again be questioned,
for it is said that the novice now wins with
apparent ease three, and some times four, out
of five of the practice games they play every
day. OF course reports of this kind are apt
to be somewhat exaggerated, but many a
man who has developed into a full fiedged
champion, has made just as romantic debut
as Vignaux's protege.

notice that there is a disposition on the

of the release of Kelly by Boston from Chi
cago for $4,000 But any one who looks at
the matter from an unprejudiced standpoint
will readily see that Kelly would have been
cheap TO Boston at almost any price, as the
enthusiasm of the "bean eaters" over the ma

rapidly and heroic remedy was necessary
to check the trouble The Boston directors !
appreciated that fact, applied the remedy and
